Questions

Do we really need a chart of the animals? You could just click on the link. And also, can anyone help us identify the mystery beasts? Bibliomaniac15 22:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC) Also, the screenshots don't work. Bibliomaniac15 22:33, 19 January 2006 (UTC) Do you unlock the mystery beast by beating a scenario? And if so, which scenario is it?[reply]

Mystery Beasts:

Deinosuchus(name exhibit Super Croc)
Triceratops(name exhibit Cretaceous Corral)
unicorn(name exhibit Xanadu)
mermaid(put mermaid statue in tank)

Do you think this article should include a list of cheat codes?

Don't know...61.230.88.35 08:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is Wikipedia, not cheatcodesunlimited.com. Bibliomaniac15 04:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it has inaccuracies, which you describe as "trival". Cheat codes are "trival" too.61.230.72.211 12:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just saying, we might as well add cheatcodes, just reference for others. --Starry.dreams 13:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering, should we put the foliage and animal lists back into wikipedia. --Starry.dreams 17:08, 19 July 2006

Uhh... You told me to watch this section, but I don't see anything to watch for... Dora Nichov 01:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uhh... Didn't you see that I had some questions/suggestions there??? --Starry.dreams 21:37, 23 July 2006

Oh. No objection. ^_^ Dora Nichov 06:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok just making sure... --Starry.dreams 24 July 2006

It has been deleted FOREVER!!!! --Starry.dreams

What? Dora Nichov 02:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what do you mean what? --Starry.dreams

What has been deleted forever? Dora Nichov 09:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

guess --Starry.dreams

Well...it's not the inaccuracies -- they're safe at Wikibooks. As are the animal and foliage lists. Do you mean the disscussions about the inaccuracies? (As well as several other disscussions) Dora Nichov 01:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the disscussion about inaccuracies of course --Starry.dreams 21:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you guys should be more active in the article instead of the talk page. Bibliomaniac15 21:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

sorry --Starry.dreams 22:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Ahh... I can't play ZT anymore for complicated reasons... I guess I'll move on to the ZT2 page! (I play ZT2 now) Dora Nichov 12:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliomaniac15, lists of animals help people to find out more about the animals in a partuicler game. You do not understand this.MarineMania1 (talk) 07:45, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In Game

At the entrance of each zoo, whatever price you set for entry, the two costs each mean that adults are 18 and over and children are 17 and under, although the child cost is half the price of the adult cost. --PJ Pete

Is it utterly necessary that we mention that animals can kill people as a final sentence in a paragraph? I'd like to see a separate section on violence if that line is left there, simply because it is an issue that is either explored or left entirely alone. And perhaps the changing of the game to be completely G rated in later issues? The violence in video games umbrella doesn't seem to extend this far into the rain does it. BarrySGillman (talk) 02:56, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help

If you see any animals that I have missed on the list, or any suggestions to help the article, PLEASE tell me. Bibliomaniac15 18:33, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pics

Try to put pictures that look like Zoo Tycoon style animals.

Expansion

I am not sure about all aspects of tutorial play, and I am certain that I will miss some scenarios. As for freeform, don't be overly detailed. Cite work if you can. Bibliomaniac15 23:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, have to go right now. Bibliomaniac15 23:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about scenarios, but I can help with the freeform. I've been playing it for quite a while. I have my own techniques, but I won't launch into them. Just a suggestion. 61.230.90.241 06:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

article for deletion

Marine Mania and Dinosaur Digs are up for deletion. Cast your vote by clicking on the link to the respective article, then clicking this article's entry. Bibliomaniac15 21:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed these lines

I removed the lines:
Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs was also included in the expansion pack Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania.
and
Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania also includes the "Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs" expansion.
as I have Marine Mania and it does not include Dinosaur Digs. I'm guessing this was confused with Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection. 124.148.42.23 01:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no no no! the fact is it does included dino digs but if you already installed it it wont install it again! 71.208.44.11 01:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it does actually include it, if you have it already it wouldn't reinstall it Triceratops9 00:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Third-party list

there should be a third party list, just saying the number of downloads is into the hundreds not only leaves questions but it also has people just walking around site to site to find them i suggest a list or graph or something like that, for the thrid party creations, as many as we can find will do some good, and if all the other animals are listed this cannot be a walkthrough —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.44.11 (talk) 15:54, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia wouldn't be the place for something like that, and there are way too many to make a list of Triceratops9 00:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Major improvements

I did a major overhaul of the article. It is much more encyclopedic in tone now. In case you're wondering why I removed those lists of animals and stuff, they are unencyclopedic and utterly useless to the article. bibliomaniac 1 5 01:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a screen shot of the game to the article as you asked on my talk page Triceratops9 (talk) 03:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References

~~Someone who can needs to remove that tag, this article now has plenty of references~~ Someone has removed it, thank you Triceratops9 (talk) 23:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lock

~~I think someone needs to lock this article from editing as people continually add back the unencyclopedic animal list to the article~~ For now they have stopped so its fine Triceratops9 (talk) 00:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It had been there forever, why should it go now. Allot of people used that list as a resource, a good one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.155.241 (talk) 04:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was there because no one bothered to read the rules and remove it, so stop adding it, for the last time unencyclopedic information is not a part of wikipedia, if they need it that bad add a link to the wikibooks article that has it Triceratops9 (talk) 14:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikibooks Links

Seeing as the Zoo Tycoon, and Zoo Tycoon 2 articles on wikibooks have been moved to strategywiki I think the links should be changed from wikibooks to strategywiki instead Triceratops9 (talk) 12:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Animal Project Editor

Where can one download the Animal Project Editor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.167.1 (talk) 05:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

False animals

Some idiot keeps adding false animals to the list like the Lar Gibbon, Alien, and Saola just to name a few. This article is turning into a complete mess and it's a real pain trying to separate fact from fiction. It might be necessary to block the article to any future edits so we can avoid vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.148.242 (talk) 21:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it is getting ugly. Chris857 (talk) 01:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Game guide issues

Wikipedia is not a game guide. Extensive lists of biomes, animals, plants, and other detailed game-play information are entirely inappropriate for Wikipedia. I tagged the article for game guide issues, but decided to just remove the lists as that was by far the biggest issue. This has been discussed previously, as can be seen in several discussions above, yet this information has somehow weaseled its way back into the article. This information is not appropriate for this project, period. It is perfectly suited for the Wiki that is linked at the bottom of the article, but not here. ICYTIGER'SBLOOD 03:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

????

Hey

Whre's the list of animals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.163.175.178 (talk) 23:21, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As is mentioned in the above section, the list was getting hard to maintain against vandalism and the information is too detailed and instructional in nature. Chris857 (talk) 01:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What Happened?

...to the list of animals? CuriousWikian590 (talk) 07:52, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This has been addressed in the two sections directly above this. ICYTIGER'SBLOOD 13:20, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

I'd recommend Zoo Tycoon animals have their own article. Super Curious Dude (talk) 08:06, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The animals of Zoo Tycoon do not meet notability requirements for a separate article. Further, they would be removed from this article as game guide material. That information is perfectly suited and very welcomed at other Wikias (a popular one is linked at the bottom of this article in the external links section), but it is not appropriate for this project. ICYTIGER'SBLOOD 18:39, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference material

JimmyBlackwing (talk) 07:30, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reference to the board game?

So on October 25th, an officially licensed board game for ZT is being released. While I feel it definitely isn't large enough to justify its own article it could still do from a mention, I guess either on this page or the primary page for the series. Not a big Wikipedia editor so I don't wanna mess anything up. PurpleTM (talk) 14:54, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
